Yes, with these paper choices you have to select Manual because they 
are thicker papers that have to be fed and adjusted sheet by 
sheet.  I don't know of any way around this.  The Ultrasmooth Fine 
Art and the Velvet Fine Art are much thicker than Epson Enhanced 
Matte.  If I were you, I'd choose EEM for the print proofs and then, 
if you want to print on the thicker papers, choose ESFA or VFA for 
the final prints.  There won't be much, if any, difference.

I've noticed that, too, but usually if you ignore the warning and go 
ahead and print what you know will fit, it will fit with no 
problems.  Just try it and see.

Good luck!
